The! giving of marriage bonds were first required by law March 5 th, 1741. The bonds are in the archives de partment of the North Carolina Historical commission, hundreds of thousands of them, from the vari ous counties, all arranged alpha-, betically and with extreme care., Their requirement ended June 1, 1868, when what was called the "New Constitution” became effec-( tiv. There are among the docu-j ments which are not infrequently attached to these bonds some very! fine touches of the funny side of< human nature. The Clerk of the^ Court was very particular to see that the marriage licenses were not; improperly granted and the assent! of one or both of the parents of] the "lady in the casg” was often required. Sometimes, a similar letter was filed as to the man in the case. i Here is a quaint but really charming leter from a father to the Clerk: Sir: These few iines is to let you know that my son is a going to get married. I can’t keep him from it no longer, he is going to marry Miss Lucy-. She is a poor girl but she is far be fore the others as day is before night, so give him license if he wants them. I thought that writing would do as well as if I was to come. Now don’t you know that daddy was a regular fel low back yonder in 1811 when this letter was written and don’t you know the son was a lucky fel low to get a girl with such a rec commendation? what a helpmate she must have made, she was no flapper of the species described the other day by a lady of note in North Carolina as a girl with few clothes but even less brains. It may be recalled that divorces were as scarce in those days in North Carolina as a snowball in Sheol. (We have recently found in the office of B. D. McCubbins many old marriage bonds that w'ill be classified and indexed and will add much to the valuable records of the office.) (Please mail any old documents containing information of long ago to Clyde Ennis, care of The Caro lina Watchman. Accounts of hap penings 75 to 100 years ago are especially desired.) Miss Ruth Forest Is * elected As “Miss Fire Chief” Miss Ruth Forest, of 302 East Fisher Street, this city, won first prize in the beauty contest of the North Carolina Firemen’s associa tion and was awarded a $50.00 wrist watch by Roberts Jewelry store. Miss Forest was sponsored by the Spencer shops fire depart ment. Miss Forest, by virtue of winning this honor, will be known as; "Miss Fire Chief” in North Caro lina for 1933-1934. Judges for the beauty contest: were: Sherwood Brockwell, of Raleigh, deputy fire marshal) Dr., Long, Graham, chief of the fire department at that place and Chief Lon Duckett, of Asheville, N. C. Miss Catherine Heron of East Spencer, was awarded second honors and Miss Brower, of Siler City, third.
